Pygame moving only once when key pressed intagratedintegrated into player class

I'm having an issue when I have created a player class and want to move my sprite in between three lanes. I was able to get the sprite to move when I used "pygame.get_pressed()"pygame.get_pressed(), however, I only want the sprite to move in single large steps between three lanes, therefore one key press == moving say 50 pixlespixels up and then no further movement.

Therefore I swapped the "get_pressed"get_pressed code for a "for event in pygame.event.get()"for event in pygame.event.get() so I could use the "KEYDOWN" method. I have got this to work in a seperateseparate project file by including it in the main while loop. However I believe this should be able to be included in the Player class and currently nothing happens.

Any help appreciated:
